Product Description
From Amazon.com
Continuing the rewarding collaboration begun on 1995's The Flower of My Secret, composer Alberto Iglesias infuses director Pedro Almodóvar's 2002 meditation on love, obsession, and loss with a score of quiet, sophisticated grace. It ranges from the evocative Spanish guitar, violin, and vocal flourishes of "Hable con Ella" (showcasing contemporary flamenco stars Vincente Amigo and El Pele) and Brazilian vocalist Caetano Veloso's gorgeously spare rendition of the international hit "Cucurrucucu Paloma" to the Latin classicism of Ellis Regina and Tom Jobim's "Por Toda a Minha Vida" and a slate of moody string-driven, autumnal orchestral cues. The eight-minute "El Amante Menguante" for string quartet features compelling, almost playful modern flourishes while tracks like "Trincheras/Decadence" and the tense "A Portagayola" suggest a rewarding Spanish take on Hitchcockian romance and suspense. That it all meshes almost seamlessly with Purcell's closing "The Plaint: O Let Me Weep" is ample testimony to the transnational flavor and ever-subtle mastery Iglesias brings to bear here. --Jerry McCulley
Chronique Amazon.fr
Pedro Almodóvar doit être le metteur en scène le plus exigeant de son époque en matière de musique. Et depuis qu'il est derrière la caméra, chacun de ses films fonctionne avec les chansons et les notes autant qu'avec les images et les dialogues. Dans Parle avec elle, les compositions d'Alberto Iglesias apportent des suppléments décisifs aux instants du film. Ils les soulignent en en accentuant l'intensité dramatique ; tant dans la texture des instruments que dans l'écriture des morceaux. Voir par exemple l'utilisation des violons et de la contrebasse à l'archet sur "El Amante Menguante", cette longue pièce triste et belle. Ou le jeu de guitare de Vicente Amigo répondant à El Pele sur l'orchestration poignante de "Hable Con Ella". Du bonheur à l'état pur. Et il faudrait des pages pour évoquer la puissance évocatrice de ce compositeur-complice pour la 4e fois. Cette B.O.F. renferme aussi la version fatale de "Cucurrucucu Paloma" par Caetano Veloso qu'Almodóvar dit avoir vu sur scène et avoir souhaité associer à son travail. C'est un des moments les plus forts de ce disque bouleversant. --José Ruiz

As compelling and languid as the film.....,
By o dubhthaigh (north rustico, pei, canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk to Her (Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
Alberto Iglesias' soundtrack for Pedro Almodovar's "Talk to Her" is as compelling a piece of 21st Century Spanish Classical music and languid sensuality as the film itself. Almodovar has a unique tack on making films, and this one is a visual stunner that is intensely augmented by this beautiful and stirring soundtrack.The orchestral pieces evoke the dramas, the comedies and the dances of this movie. The ballet of modern dancers, of a woman fighting bulls, of a young dancer practicing her steps as the two protoagonists stumble through their efforts to reach beyond their limits they impose on their lives are all evocatively drawn out in this remarkable music that often reminds me of Revoueltas. And the stunner in the film is Caetano Veloso delivering "Cucurrucucu Paloma" seaside in a Cafe with a brilliantly subtle group of accompaniests. I think this is my favourite 4 minutes of film in all the movies I have ever seen. There is drama, comedy, and as one might expect with Almodovar, the bizarre. The film is a triumph and the music is just the right ingredient to heighten deepen and accentuate the flavours of this remarkable work. Buy the disc, see the movie. It's great.

Satisfied,
By Hergé (Thetford Mines, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk to Her (Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
The product received is exactly what I ordered, it took more than I expected, but I must admit it was Christmas Time, so it's normal that it took more time to get here.

Not the complete sound track,
By
This review is from: Talk to Her (Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
I really enjoyed the movie and while the sound track is wonderful, it doesn't include the song that compelled me to order the sound track. Disappointingly, I have no idea what it was and don't know how to find out. This is not the first time that a movie offers a sound track but the song that elicits one to purchase it is not included. This is my last attempt at this futile exercise.
